Zinc: Deficiency Symptoms and Health Benefits
Zinc is an important mineral, which is essential for protein synthesis and helps to regulate the production of cells in the body's immune system. It is mainly found in the muscles. Zinc is also found in high concentrations in red and white blood cells, the retina of the eye, bones, skin, kidneys, liver, and pancreas. In men, the prostate gland and semen (zinc is one of its constituents) store high amounts of zinc.
Magnesium Rich Food and Deficiency
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral found in the body and is very essential for good health. It is mostly found in the bones (around 50%), teeth, and red blood cells. The other half is largely found inside cells of body tissues and organs. Only 1% of magnesium is found in blood. The body takes magnesium from the diet and excretes the excess through urine and stool. A balanced diet contains enough magnesium for the body's functional requirements.
Benefits, Deficiency and Iron Rich Food
Iron is an essential mineral for life. It is found in the red blood cells of the body and is also needed to produce red blood cells.
Most of the iron in the body is attached to the haemoglobin molecules in red blood cells, thereby transporting oxygen to all the tissues of the body. Haemoglobin is the essential protein found in red blood cells and represents about two thirds of the body's iron.
Copper : Dietary sources, Health Benefit and Deficiency
Copper is the third most richly found trace mineral in the human body - transported in the bloodstream on a plasma protein called ceruloplasmin. The liver and brain contain the largest amounts of copper in the human body, with smaller amounts in other organs
Copper is an essential component of the natural pigment, melanin that gives colour to the skin, hair, and eyes. It is needed to make an enzyme that restricts arteries from hardening and possible rupturing.
